Guest guest Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 The off taste that develops sometimes is caused by growth of bacteria and this is a danger in the classic " sun tea " which sits outside all day at modest temperatures. Bring the brew (both water and herbs used) to pasteurizing temperature by a short solar box exposure before setting it in the sun simple reflector. Or the tea can be brewed completely inside the solar box cooker. Marilyn Daub mcdaub Vanceburg, KY My Cats Knead Me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I usually don't leave it outside, I will brew a cup of strong tea, toss it in the jug when it cools, add water and use that. On weekends I might make a quart of sun tea but it is ually black or green tea with no flavoring or fruit in it and I leave it out about 2 hrs at the most.
